looping trough an xml file combining lists in ANT

I have this xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projects>
  <project action="D">Project1</project>
  <project action="M">Project2</project>
</projects>

I want to use ant to loop trough the projects and execute a piece of code when the action is D, and an other piece of code when the action is not D.

My progress so far is:

<target name="test">
  <xmlproperty file="changeList.xml"/>
  <for list="${projects.project}" param="project">
    <sequential>
      <echo>The project name is @{project} Action @{project.action}</echo>
    </sequential>
  </for>
</target>

result now is:

 [echo] Project name is Project1 Action is @{project.action}
 [echo] Project name is Project2 Action is @{project.action}

I understand that I have 2 separate lists and that I'm not getting the action in the result. I need to loop trough my xml file having both property's available (project name, and the action) to pass as a parameter to the next target.
